I am an American sociology professor at the University of Sydney (Chinese name: 巴博斯). I write about Asia's role in the global economy with a focus on the greater China region. I also host the YouTube livestream show Midnight in America, streaming Friday nights at midnight US eastern time. I have published 12 books and dozens of academic journal articles, but what I enjoy most is writing for the public. I love to hear from readers.
